Headed up Elk Mt to see how much snow this storm is bringing. As we made our way up the logging road the rain turned to snow at 700 m. At 1500 m there was 15 cm of storm snow by 1pm, and as we headed home it was still snowing heavily. Ski cutting produced a mix of dry loose and soft storm slabs, with slab properties increasing throughout the day. As the snow continues, we are expecting active avalanche conditions again tomorrow.
